How to format and print current date in Golang 1.20
0In this video we are going to generate source code for the GoLang Program, How to format and print current date using chatGPT.
After generating we will verify and run the generated code.
IMPORTANT NOTE on SOURCE CODE: only source code that are acceptable by the youtube description box will be displayed.
##############SOURCE CODE#########################
package main
import (
"fmt"
"time"
)
func main() {
// get the current date and time
now := time.Now()
// print the date in machine-readable format
fmt.Println(now.Format("2006-01-02 15:04:05"))
}
Below is the explanation for the program:
This program uses the time package to get the current date and time with the time.Now() function.
The Format method is used to format the date and time according to a specified layout string.
In this case, the layout string "2006-01-02 15:04:05" represents the year, month, day, hour, minute, and second of the current date and time, in that order.
Note that the year is represented as "2006" instead of the current year, which is a quirk of Go's date formatting rules.
